Third Attempt

The Florida Legislature passed House Bill 1545, effective
July 1, 1997, and amended effective July 1,
1999. This bill requires that students
enrolled in the same undergraduate college credit course or
college preparatory course more than two times shall pay fees
at 100 percent of the full cost of instruction. (For purposes
of this assessment, the Florida Legislature considers 100
percent of the full cost of instruction to be equal to the
non-Florida resident fee, which is not subsidized by state
monies).

In order to administer this requirement, colleges in Florida
began "counting" student attempts beginning with the Fall 1997
term, regardless of the number of previous attempts.

Note: Upon the third attempt of a credit
course, a withdrawal will be recorded as a "WF" and calculated
as an "F" in the student's GPA.
